==AMMONIA PRODUCTION FROM CARBON- AND WATER-DERIVED HYDROGEN - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17550857 titled 'AMMONIA PRODUCTION FROM CARBON- AND WATER-DERIVED HYDROGEN

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes methods and systems for ammonia production. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

* The method involves electrolyzing water to produce hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2).
* A reformer feed stream containing hydrocarbons, hydrogen from electrolysis, and an oxidant stream containing oxygen and nitrogen is combined to form a reformed stream.
* The reformed stream is then passed through a water-gas shift catalyst, resulting in a shifted stream containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen.
* The shifted stream is separated into a captured stream containing carbon monoxide and an ammonia production feed stream containing hydrogen and nitrogen.
* The ammonia production feed stream, along with optional hydrogen from electrolysis, undergoes a reaction to produce ammonia.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Industrial-scale ammonia production for use in fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and various chemical processes.
* Hydrogen production for fuel cells and other energy storage applications.
* Carbon monoxide capture and utilization in other chemical processes.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Efficient and sustainable production of ammonia using renewable energy sources.
* Integration of electrolysis and reforming processes to optimize hydrogen production.
* Reduction of carbon monoxide emissions through capture and utilization.

Benefits of this technology:

* Lower carbon footprint due to the use of renewable energy and carbon capture.
* Increased efficiency in ammonia production by utilizing hydrogen from electrolysis.
* Versatile application potential in various industries requiring ammonia and hydrogen.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Methods and systems for ammonia production are provided. An exemplary method includes electrolyzing water to form Hand O; contacting a reformer feed stream including hydrocarbons, Ofrom electrolysis, and an oxidant stream including Oand Nto form a reformed stream including H, CO, CO, and N; contacting the reformed stream with a water-gas shift catalyst to form a shifted stream including H, CO, and N; separating the shifted stream to form a captured stream including COand an ammonia production feed stream including Hand N; and reacting the ammonia production feed stream, and optionally Hfrom electrolysis, to form ammonia.
